Skin Rejuvenation Options For You
We all want to improve the way we look, and one of the ways that would make you successful with this is through skin rejuvenation treatments. In any dermatologic or surgical clinic, you may find yourself choosing among so many options. But how do you know which one is the best one for you? Let us go through the different skin rejuvenation treatments to weigh them accordingly.
Microdermabrasion
This is an exfoliating treatment that uses tiny rough granules to help remove dead skin cells and dirt. If you have tried those creams or facial washes that have those grainy texture, it uses the same mechanism. But there is also another way to perform microdermabrasion and it is through the use of a machine with a tip that has aluminum oxide crystals, which would come in contact with the skin’s outer layer. A newer version of this machine is also available which has a diamond tip.
With repeated sessions microdermabrasion will result to a smoother, clearer and younger looking skin. This procedure takes 30 minutes to perform and there is no down-time involved.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are seemingly the most easily accessible among these skin rejuvenating techniques. In fact you can even do it yourself. But there should be proper handling and precaution with this if you don’t want to end up irritating your skin, because these peels can be rather harsh. The chemicals used will usually be acidic so you should use it very carefully.
Under the right application with safe products, the dead skin cells that line the topmost layers will be sloughed off. This will reveal a smoother, clearer, and even toned skin. In addition to that it will also produce a youthful glow.
This treatment is perfect in removing age spots, acne, acne scars, fine lines, sun spots, wrinkles and dry textured skin.
Botox
If there is anything that is making most of Hollywood look younger, that would be Botox. This name and its benefits spread beyond the elite and even among the common individual. And it remains to be the best anti-aging and rejuvenating treatment that provides fast and visible results.
Botox is an attenuated version of the dangerous Clostridium Botulinum toxin. Yes, the very toxin that causes food poisoning. However in small amounts, this can result to a younger-looking appearance by erasing fine lines, wrinkles and even skin sagginess. These set of benefits received FDA approval in 2002.
But Botox, like any other treatment should be taken with precaution, although some people are already hosting Botox parties where they inject in on themselves. It is always best to have a certified esthetician or surgeon to do it, just to be safe.
A good outcome would entail a younger and more rejuvenated look as it also lifts the treated area aside from eliminating wrinkles. But if the procedure is also haphazardly done, it can give you a weird-looking appearance, as if you are permanently frightened.
Thermage
Another skin rejuvenating treatment that has received good reviews is Thermage. It utilizes radiofrequency energy directed over the skin surface, but it specifically targets the dermal layers underneath. The radiofrequency energy creates microscopic wounds beneath the skin which stimulates the healing process. This now elicits the production of collagen which makes the skin look younger and feels firmer.
Thermage treatment can be done in less than an hour and there is no downtime making you return to normal activities right after. The appearance of results varies for every person. Some may immediately see initial results after the first session, while some take months and several sessions before they do. However, unlike other surgical interventions, the results of Thermage are rather subtle and would be best for those who do not have severe cases of wrinkles, cellulites, deep scars or sagging.
Most patients who have had Thermage treatment with previous machines would complain about the pain during treatment. They describe it to be similar to that of a hot rubber band repeatedly snapped on to their faces. But a new machine which is the Thermage CPT that has been used by a lot of clinics today provides a painless and a faster procedure.
Whatever it is that you choose to have done among the skin rejuvenating treatments mentioned above, always remember that you get them at a dependable clinic. The success of these treatments also lies on the expertise of the people who deliver it. When they do not know the techniques and proper handling, as customer, you are more prone to the untoward reactions from happening.
